A thrift store in Enid is out thousands of dollars after burglars struck over the weekend.

Police are reviewing surveillance video of two burglars stealing more than $3,000 around 1:30 a.m. at Park Avenue Thrift on South Grand Avenue.

"They took all of the boxes that belong in the cash register, all of the change drawers and all the cash ready to go for the next day," said Paula Nightengale, who runs a nonprofit that opened the store in 2007. "It just makes your heart go down; a little part of you dies."

Nightengale said the break-in lasted 42 seconds and all happened in complete darkness.

"There's no way a random person could come in that door and know where to go in the first place," she said. "Then when he gets in, he knows where to go."

Nightengale said the two people shown in the surveillance video are most likely current or former employees.

"It's really sad," she said. "We've been serving this community for years. I feel worse for the person who committed this crime."

Nightengale said they will have to buy a new door, which could cost thousands of dollars.
